REASONS WHY SEATTLE EATS DIRT by Everett True
Pg 29, purple box, paragraph 2

Sub Pop/Scientology: Spot the difference. You notice how everyone from The Only Label In Town That Bothers To Place Me On Their Payroll speaks and moves in exactly the same weird religious way? What brainwashing techniques are going down on First Avenue? I'm interested. Have you noticed how Sub Pop's most venerated band - SUNNY DAY REAL ESTATE - sounds like a bad Jane's Addiction? A seriously bad Jane's Addiction. Hey, I broke them up once - I'm quite willing to give it a shot at two. Emo-core, arena rock, brow-clenching, bowel-moving, chest-expanding metal . . . call it what you want. It still stinks like my brother's asshole.
